Solitude: A privacy analysis tool
summary
An open source privacy analysis tool called solitude inspects mobile and web apps by matching configured and built‑in search strings to outgoing traffic. A live demo on Strava shows a user’s configured hometown string being sent to strava.com, a fake contact from the phonebook also posted to strava.com, and GPS coordinates observed leaving the app to mapbox.com. The tool supports dynamic data insertion, built‑in checks for IP and GPS, and the demo functions end to end.
